Chanel Couture

Okay I would of actually killed to be here. Although I never really got Couture fashion week I seem to think I do know. Orginally I didn't think much of it, I never really felt the love and desire to pounce on each item and run away with. But Chanel has changed that now. I am a couture convert - although I still find it impossible to spell - anyways Chanel.

First off THE HAIR seriously I love it. Looking at it, it felt very Lolita esque. Kind of heart shaped balloon on each side with faded colourful amazingness if you get what I mean? I thought I would just poing this out. You know, in case you missed it?

Honestly how do people do this, the detail that goes into these. It makes my head spin. You have to look at each peice for at least half an hour each. Seriously the craftsmenship and skill that has gone into this show is unbalievable. One dress featured 17,000 hand cut satin flowers. I am in total awe of the people who dedicate their lives to making something so beautiful and pleasing. And I honestly think they should be put into the limelight more often. I am also amazed to find out that this is the first collection in Karl lagerfields WHOLE career where he didn't use black or navy blue!!!!

i'll just quickly pop in here and add that this peice took 700 hours to make.

Chanel is literally a power house, they come out with six collections per year and each one so far has been flawless. There is not much else I can say other than I love the silver booties and load of silver in Baptiste's suit.
